holy fuck this is dark
I dunno, seems uplifting to me, if it means we can switch.
The way I see it: the last three panels didn't happen (in reality).
Tactical comment: reply here if you discover how to switch
I can think of two different ways:
- going insane and dissociating from reality
- getting ultra rich, or being born in ultra rich family
Getting ultra rich won't save you from suffering. It can put it off a little while, but sickness, loss of loved ones, old age, and death come for us all.
This comic gets the collective despair across so well.
Missed opportunity to have one guy yelling ":!q"
We will never forget the secret ending of Sword Art Online where Kirito finally exits the game, only to find there’s another options menu in the real world.
/s (but somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually did that)
WHERES THE FUCKING BUTTON
Have you checked your midsection?
Just tried, only pissed myself.
wait until after puberty. it starts to feel different down there.
I've put so much stuff up there.
It is in your brain, is called "dissociation".
The scariest part is that real world is, in fact, a hardcore free-for-all PvP realm.
I'm not talking competition or something. A random person can absolutely come to you at any time, stab or shoot you and you'll be dead. Forever. No respawns.
It's only because people don't really like being murdered that led them to make and enforce rules on what violence is legitimate that curbed the violence. But even still, anytime, anywhere, by anyone, you can absolutely be killed. And if one day something breaks in the chain that makes police work, we're super screwed.
It's not the police that keep us from killing each other, or even laws that do so. Check out law and authority sometime if you're able. It's very short and worth a read. We don't kill each other because we don't enjoy being killed or killing. We're social creatures, and don't want to be shunned. Crimes of passion don't really change based on laws, but the way we organize society may actually be increasing the number of murders, because some people are desperate enough to kill for food or shelter
Will always upvote Kropotkin.
I read half of it. It seems to overidealize the pre-law era to a large degree. Before law we had mass slavery, constant raiding of nearby tribes and nothing to prevent anybody from taking everything from a person. There is definitely a case where laws can become draconian and force people to break them but I'd argue that in most countries law prevent more unwanted behavior than cause it.
This especially doesn't apply in modern times since you just need one person to create a private mercenary group to essentially create a mini kingdom within a loosely organised society. That person will very quickly be able to form a successful dictatorship by raiding, enslaving and demanding tribute from nearby settlements.
Even a laissez faire government with everything legal except violence will essentially make it legal to dump toxic waste on your front lawn everywhere without policing and laws. Toxic waste is currently being dumped with laws just under woefully loose law and I'd argue that we need more laws and regulation to prevent people from doing so.
I feel like anarchist theory quickly forgets that we had anarchy before law and people quickly formed kingdoms around settlements to defend themselves and aggressive kingdoms where more successful than passive ones.

Really, you can replace police and laws with any form of more or less organized sanctions against the perpetrators.
Law and authority is a good read, but it shows exactly that - without centralized power, people do (and, according to Kropotkin, people should) put system of unwritten controls all by themselves. And that keeps us from sliding into the savage world where everyone preys on one another. But if something breaks in this chain, if we accept the violence against one another, we'll get extinct very rapidly.
It's only because people don't really like being murdered that...
No it's also, and more importantly, because people don't like murdering
If not for people’s negative feelings toward being murdered, I would only take <1% of people enjoying murdering for it to be an extinction-level problem.
Such an incredibly small number of people want to murder that, even though it would only take <1% of people to get rid of the whole population, we are nowhere near that.
And if one day something breaks in the chain that makes police work, we’re super screwed.
Sad USA noises

Oh boy, how great would that be
Eh, with my luck it would be the glitchy alpha version of utopia where it crashed and I had to start back at the beginning the second I walked into the door of the Federal Cupcake Bakery and Fuckatorium.
Just keep trying to enter the door in slightly different ways until it lets you in.

Moral of the story: don't skip the tutorial.
Sorry, I grew up on 1980s video games. Only nerds and losers read the manual.
So did I and everybody read the manual, those who didn't just rage quit after five minutes because games were fucking impossible beyond the most basic racing or sports games.
Your loss. The manuals of yesteryear were amazing. Better than the game, generally.
If I read the manuals, I wouldn't still be saying Mario jumps on mushrooms and turtles and I like it that way.
Spotted the rich kid who didn't buy 40 games on one tape, each with an one-line description
Oh no, mine were fully pirated bootlegs. Even the commercial pirates knew to keep the manuals included though
